Turning up my boost...

[Redbaboon]

Hi Lads,

As an extreme novice in the field of forced induction performance, I sometimes ask some stupid questions.

I am currently weighing up buying a FMIC for my 33. I will buy it, it's just a matter of when. My understanding is that the extra horses come into the equation when you fit a FMIC and turn up your boost.

How do I physically turn up my boost?

Is it purely controlled by the ECU opening the bleed valve, or can I adjust this by some other external means?

As always, your help is appreciated.

Depends what you have got. if you havent got an aftermarket bleed valve, then you won't be able to turn it up.

Their are lots of other mods you can do first instead of adding a FMIC.

Do you already have a 3" Turbo-back exhaust?

Yep,

Already have a 3'' turbo back 5Zigen exhaust. Have factory ECU turbo and intercooler, aftermarket BOV.

Work has been done to the ECU (evident due to the rewiring, lack of terminations such as throttle position input), although this was done in Japan and I don't know what exactly has.

What else do you recommend before going down the FMIC path?

Take a look at this thread:
